LEGO opened Cuusoo to let fans pitch ideas for play sets. But if you have a 3D printer, you don’t have to wait and beg for a minifig of your favorite character. Just do what Michael “Skimbal” Curry did and make the minifigs yourself. Skimbal even made his minifigs four times larger than the official LEGO citizens.
Skimbal started with a blank jumbo minifig and went wild from there. Although he hasn’t shared new models for about a month now, he already has several popular characters ready for you to download.
See that headcrab zombie minifig? Half-life 3 is a better bet than an official LEGO version of that. Or maybe not. I may be underestimating Valve Time. Print a browser then head to Thingiverse to download Skimbal’s minifig 3D models.

Some folks absolutely love winter, while others loathe it, with yet another group feeling non-chalant about the situation. The thing is, each season has its fair share of beauty as well as down side to it, and with winter, plenty of cleaning needs to be done – to get rid of the snow on the sidewalk, the slosh on your boots, the list goes on and on. With the $29.99 Zeus Vehicle Cleaning Multi-Tool, at least it will be able to help you out somewhat in your daily cleaning chores – those that concern the other source of pride and joy in your life, of course, which is your ride.
For instance, the Zeus would feature shovel, brush, and ice scraper functions that make it ideal for winter situations. The wide shovel sports an ergonomic handle that allows it to deliver some serious snow removal, and all of the various features can be easily broken down in a neat manner so that it can be stashed away without a problem at all. Made out of high-impact plastic, the shovel head can be flipped over to become an oversized ice scraper, and the grip sports reflective ends so that you remain visible while digging out.

Nothing will ever be able to replace the simple beauty of a real, live Christmas tree—and don’t even get us started on the smell. But no matter how much we may cherish this piney holiday tradition, the reality remains: They’re bulky, messy, and a pain in the ass to toss out once they’re dead. But fake Christmas trees are tacky, right? That’s where you’re wrong—welcome to the wide and exciting world of Christmas trees alternatives, where the best are anything but.

Forget the sanding, the painting, and all the construction; the worst part of a renovation is having to use a tape measure to size up a room. But if you’re willing to cough up $560, there’s now a much better way that almost sounds like magic. It’s a smartphone accessory called the Spike that uses lasers, GPS, and other sensors to automatically measure everything in a photo you take. Say wha?!
